OAT vs FTE

[mani]

Hi, I was wondering if there is an official ranking of the best flying schools. I am currently looking at OAT and FTE, but have nobody to discuss this with. Could somebody tell me about their experiences of these schools and if it is conclusive which one is the better one. Would i have the same chance of gaining employment from both schools? Finally, i am nearly 23 and by the time i have saved some £££ to contribute to my expenses i will be 24, so am i bit to old to traine as a pilot?
Cheers

age is no problem. ppl say you have uptill 36 to get trained.

OAT VS FTE;
asked many times!-try searches.

answer- both are equally as good as producing professional pilots; in the top5 of schools globally.

both have slightly different course structures, environments and costs, thus u cant compare! u just need to go for which YOU FEEL IS RIGHT FOR YOU.

(both have healthy numbers going to BA via SSP)

hope that helps

Cheers Aerospace 101 that was helpful. When i look at course structures etc there are many abbreviations, which confuse me so i think i will contact the schools direct with a list of questions. If anyone knows a page where the OAT vs FTE debate is continued please feel free to post it.
Thanx

24 - too old???

I thought 24 was still quite young....or at least Il keep telling myself that.
